Tui Na Massage
Chinese medical massage using acupressure and manipulation techniques
About This Treatment
Tui Na is a therapeutic massage that has been used in China for over 2,000 years. Unlike typical massage, Tui Na practitioners use specific hand techniques to stimulate acupressure points and manipulate the musculoskeletal system along meridian pathways. It can be vigorous or gentle, depending on the condition being treated, and is often used alongside acupuncture.
